CT DOT updates $20M replacement of highway bridge destroyed in fiery crash
The Connecticut Department of Transportation, or DOT, has provided an update on the Fairfield Avenue Bridge replacement over Interstate 95 in Norwalk, according to a statement.
The bridge had previously been demolished following a fiery crash on May 2.
With the design finished on June 1, workers have recently begun removing the damaged center of the bridge pier on June 18, according to the DOT. Workers have also begun repairing the concrete abutments that will support the future bridge.
“This project is moving forward at incredible speed thanks to the hard work and dedication of the CTDOT and Yonkers crews who have remained in constant communication over the last several weeks. Thanks to continued strong collaboration, we remain optimistic of meeting our goals to have this bridge fully reopened next spring,” said Connecticut Department of Transportation Commissioner Garrett Eucalitto.
